## Chapter

- release_date: 2025-03-08

### Summary
The political conflict escalates dramatically as the Queen openly manipulates her young son to provoke Crown Prince Lee Hyun. In a dangerous display of ambition, she dresses the child in amethyst robes, a move readers see as recklessly putting him in the line of fire. This tense confrontation is briefly undercut by a surprising moment of tenderness between the half-brothers, as Lee Hyun shows affection for the boy, highlighting the tragic potential for a positive relationship destroyed by court politics. The chapter’s atmosphere of dread is amplified by the full introduction of a shaman, whose terrifying appearance is widely described by readers as a "jumpscare" and compared to horror figures. This shaman performs a cryptic reading, commenting on Lee Hyun's face—which readers humorously interpret as a reference to his handsomeness—and making a dubious prophecy about the young prince. Her unsettling presence and ambiguous actions introduce a dark, supernatural element to the power struggle, solidifying the Queen's villainy as she leverages her own child and occult forces in her quest for power.
